Chongyang Tribe Girl's tea is a prestigious Gong Tuocha (compressed bird's nest tea) made from the young spring leaves of the Yunnan large-leaf tea plant. Its processing follows the ancestral skills of the Xiaguan region, combined with steaming with pure mountain water.
The nests are dense, well-formed, and bright emerald green in color with visible white buds. When infused, the liquid takes on a vibrant yellow-orange hue, releasing a rich, floral, and persistent aroma, while the taste is fresh, mellow, long-lasting, and balanced. The infused leaves reveal a tender, glossy, and uniform texture, with excellent resistance to multiple infusions.
According to ancient records from Ruan Fu during the Qing era, the "daughter of tea" was a precious tea harvested before the rain by Yi women, often in small 200g cakes. Offered as a dowry or kept as a valuable possession, it symbolized purity, youth, and family tradition. This Gong Tuo version perpetuates this memory through a modern form and respected craftsmanship.
Origin: Xiaguan (Dali), Yunnan, China
Produced by Huajian Huong Tea (Group) Co., Ltd.
Specificity: Raw Pu-erh Tea – Vintage 2010 – Cultivar Da Ye Zhong (大叶种)
A compressed tea in the shape of a nest (Tuocha), from the first spring harvests. Made using traditional hand-rolling and steam-pressing techniques, from fresh leaves picked from Yunnan's broad-leaf tea bushes. The steam comes from the pure spring waters of Mount Diancang, in the Dali region.
Packaging: 100 grams / Tuo – Individually wrapped
Bouquet: Fresh floral aromas, slightly vegetal, blended with notes of yellow fruits, green peas, and spring buds. The infusion releases a persistent and elegant fragrance. The tea develops a clear, bright yellow-orange liquor, evoking the light of a high-altitude morning.
Properties: Raw tea renowned for its freshness, lightness, and natural aging potential. It stimulates digestion, clears the mind, gently invigorates, and promotes concentration. Considered an uplifting tea, it is enjoyed during the day or in moments of mental clarity. Its resistance to successive infusions allows for the exploration of its rich aromas over time. Gong Tuo is historically associated with young Yi women who harvested it with care: a symbol of purity, grace, and tradition.
Dosage: 6 to 8 grams (up to 10 grams depending on the desired strength)
Preparation: Revive the leaves with two quick rinses at 95–100°C.
Then, infuse at 90–95°C:
First infusion: 8 seconds
Second infusion: 10 seconds
Then add 5 seconds to each subsequent infusion.
This method highlights the finesse of the young, raw leaves. The tea evolves from infusion to infusion: initially floral and invigorating, it becomes rounder, slightly fruity, then soft and supple.
Tonal: Golden yellow to orange liquor, clear and luminous. The first cups are lively and fresh, while subsequent cups gain in depth and texture. Impeccable transparency, a sign of good processing and controlled compression.
Taste: Delicate notes of wildflowers, sweet peas, and young shoots, with a slightly mineral and silky finish. A lively sensation on the palate, without any marked astringency. An elegant, spring-like tea that reflects the purity of its mountain origins.
Texture: Light, fluid, and silky on the palate, with a lovely lingering, vegetal freshness.
Storage: Store in its original packaging, away from odors, in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated space (such as a closed bookcase or open shelf). This tea can continue to evolve and develop more complex notes over the years.

Customer Reviews
Let customers speak for us
from 41 reviewsThe textured mouthfeel of this shou is incredible! From the first infusuion you feel its density - silky and fuuull, spreading through the entire mouth and setting into oily, kind of waxy afterfeel... Yeah, afterfeel - as this tea is more about sensetions that unfold through the session...
The flavor profile leans toward deep earthy notes. Very grounded character, so dense but clean. And in the later infusions, especially when brewed a bit cooler, the profile shifts toward dark chocolate tones becoming rounder and softer
That brick become one of my favorites so fast after recieving the batch from Alexandre and the half of it went out very very quickly as its creamy earthy profile is sooooo addictive
This shou presents a dense, deeply woody profile. Mature wood notes emerge - full-bodied and gently enveloping
The liquor feels clean and clear and goes to nice orange tone after 6 brews while maintaining its dense woody characterr with increasing sweetness in each infusion
In the aftertaste sweet, silky cocoa unfolds - smooth and refined, like dark chocolate slowly melting on the tongue🙂↔️
P.S. the tea is really dense and can easily replace a meal:)
Comblé et ravi de la découverte de ce site mais SURTOUT de la sélection. Au delà de sa sympathie, Alexandre est un véritable orfèvre du Pu Erh...Conseil avisé, justesse, adaptation et surtout...Voyage dans la tasse. Néophyte, je n'ai pas réussi à trouver mieux et je ne souhaite qu'une chose : voir son catalogue s étayer au fil des saisons. Merci à toi Alexandre et au plaisir de recommander sur ta boutique (bientôt) !
Just finished last 5g of this brick today morning so its a perfect time for a review
When it first arrived, maybe like 6-7 omonths ago, the tea showed his tannic stucture power and was super sharp BUT after few weeks of "resting" on the shelf it really opened up - the body become smoother, rounder and pleasant
With weekly sessions over the course of month the tea gradually reveled its character. Personally, I found it more enjoyable after the meals. The earthy base opened with cocoa depth and transitioned into a gentle tannic structure with a touch of sweetness, and overall remaining its round and deeply layered structure
I had never experienced that noticeable tannins in shou before this brick, so at first they felt a bit unusual. Through the time and explorings this and other shou they become very familiar. Lightly drying sensation in the mouth which arrived gently and faded quickly
For this price point, the experience you get feels muuuuuuuuch muuuuch more than fair
Appreciete you Alexandre!
Produit d'excellence !!! Après diverses expériences sur d'autres sites c'est désormais ICI et uniquement que je ferai mes commandes !!! Tout est parfait !!! Conseils, suivi, expédition... Merci pour tout cher Alexandre.
Bonne continuation

I give seven stars out of seven. Great tea. Very tasty, refreshing, toning and invigorating. I also want to note that this cake lasts for a very long time. Super 🙌 , Alexander, thank you and express my respect 🫡!!!
Very good, time-tested and tasted tea by me personally, more than once. Excellent rich and at the same time soft taste. Very powerful effect and tangible benefits. A cup of this tea will not leave you indifferent. This is one of my favorites. There should always be such kindness. This is not my first brick, and I really recommend it to both connoisseurs and beginners. 👍👍👍Thank you! ☺️
I know that this raw puer has a wonderful taste of medium saturation and quite powerful and at the same time soft effect. Thank you Alexander for the constant quality! I recommend this tea to every connoisseur of truly high-quality healthy and invigorating drinks.
I have been a tea drinker for many years now, reading a lot about tea.
I was looking for tea pu erh resine since I’ve never tasted it.
That’ s how i found the « crème pu erh cuit » on Alexandre website « le meilleur thé de Chine ».
I really enjoyed drinking this crème de thé!
It taste like fermented tea no doubt about it , and it is very easy to prépare .
Great tea 🫖! I consider this option to be one of the most optimal in terms of price and quality ratio. Delicious taste, pleasant aroma and very noticeable effect. It feels like this product is really useful!
Discovered Chinese Resin Tea quite recently so went to the top-of-the-tree to compare. It took a while to tune in to various teas but I can now confidently say that this falls into that top category, quite delightful tea but the price is a bit of a stretch. Is it worth it? Yes, I will likely be tempted at some point again, I would suggest that you will never know what you missed until you try it.
Great product. Excellent taste, quality, and effect. A real raw Puerh. Connoisseurs will appreciate and understand what we are talking about! 👌🙂
I'm very satisfied. 😊 I really liked this tea. It is very dense and long-playing. Great taste, and the aroma already guarantees the quality.! 💪One of my favorites.
Great product. High quality combined with a rich aroma, such a unique taste, and an unforgettable aftertaste provides you with an equally unforgettable experience. I recommend this tea! 🫖 that's what you need. An important clarification - do not abuse otherwise it will be difficult to fall asleep and you will have to move a lot... 😁👍
